A murdered leader cartel known as “El Fatal” was buried with hundreds of hunting gear arms and rifles in his coffin, so that he might be ‘armed to the teeth at life after death». Julian Sevillano, the 39-year-old leader of “Los Fatales,” was with his 20-year-old daughter at a car wash in Moroche last Wednesday when they were suddenly ambushed by gunmen, according to La Nacion.
Both were killed during the shootings for which members of a rival gang are responsible, the publication said. Sevillano’s relatives refused to leave the bodies with the police and instead took them for a mass funeral the next day, El Universo said. Images released show Sevillano in an open coffin as people rush to fill it with weapons so that he is “armed to the teeth in the afterlife and able to defend himself“, she broadcasts New York Post.
Ecuador’s police and military mobilized amid rumors of possible retaliation and continued violence.
Locals said it appeared the rival team had tracked Sevillano’s movements before the murder of him and knew he would be at the car wash that morning. “It seems they had followed his movements, Julián always came to wash the car in the morning, his enemies took advantage of this,” a resident of Mocache who preferred not to give his name told El Universo. Other locals said the killers were traveling on a motorbike but arrived at the car wash to avoid “raising suspicion”.
Local authorities believe Sevillano may have been killed in retaliation for crimes he committed in the past, as the murdered man had a criminal record for murder.
